Shipmate Flagchart : http://www.flagchart.net

Maasdriel is a municipality in the Bommeler Waard, just north of 's Hertogenbosch. Its proper name should be Driel, but there is another village with the same name (in Heteren municipality), so it was given the adjective of the river it lies on in 1943.
The flag was adopted 8 June 1956, derived from the municipal Coat of Arms

The triangle should be RED instead of orange
The church (from the coats of arms) should be YELLOW instead of white.
I'm the one that can know it, because I designed the flag about 20 years ago.
